Do People Believe Melo Is a Superstar?

[Sarcastic]

And if you replaced Lebron with Melo, Cavs are 1st round fodder every season. Melo isn't a superstar. Get over it.

We don't know about the first few years, because Lebron couldn't even get the Cavs to the playoffs in the crappy Eastern Conference. Then once finally there, he was lucky to play the Wizards all the time.

everyone thinks he was a superstar b4 coming to the knicks

Superstar has become a very loose concept nowadays. There used to be a time when you could not be a Superstar unless Basketball fans from all over the world knew your name.

What's the definition of a superstar? First team All NBA?

How many superstars are in the league at any one time?

From his couple of games back so far, Melo looks like he is rushing things. Doesn't look comfortable yet on the court.

Let's give him 25 games with Lin and the new offense and see how he does. To me a superstar should shine in any system.

I'm watching the Knicks replay right now and two minutes after I posted, Walt Frazier just mentioned that Melo was rushing his game and he wasn't relaxed out there. Melo had just drove down the lane and then threw a pass over Landry Fields's head.

Yes, and he is also the most clutch player in the league.

[M.V.W.]

a superstar doesn't have to have those intangibles. It has more so to do with media and mass appeal than on court play.

This. People seem to forget the popularity aspect of player superstardom.

[heyhey]

No he's not a superstar not closed to the impact of a bron or Kobe or wade or Dwight.

Ppl act like he didn't have a squad in denver

So do you believe he is on the same level as Lebron as a player?

Lebron is better, but that doesn't mean Carmelo is not a superstar.

If you are saying you have to be as good as Lebron to be a superstar, then there is only 1 superstar in the league.

Right now... not even close and it's painful to watch, but on the Nuggets Melo had a better offense game than Cavs Lebron without a doubt in my mind. Lebron looked clumsy as hell

Don't tell me you guys have only watched NBA since Linsanity started 2 weeks ago.

Im not saying that. But I think the gap between the two players is a bigger than you believe.

What makes you think that? You able to read his mind?

I always see the better offensive game stuff, but that all Melo supports really have. Melo doesn't play defense nor does he make his teammates. All we here from his supporters is, "he is so versatile offensive" or "best scorer in the league". With the latter being completely untrue.

The fact he said the Knicks wouldn't trade Melo unless it was for Lebron in another thread. Now get off my nuts, you bandwagon Bulls fans.
